Ardour 2.3 Installed...but no launch?

Installation & Configuration Linux
#1

Ok, so I had Ardour 2.3. Then, I uninstalled it. I then installed Ardour from synaptic, which is still the old .9 version. So I uninstalled that, and installed 2.3 from source, using scons and all that. Now, I get no error messages when I’m installing it, but there are no executables to start the program: nothing in /usr/bin, a filesystem search turned up nothing, and if I try to launch it in the terminal with “ardour”, “ardour2”, etc., I get a message that it doesn’t exist. What is wrong?

Thanks,
Dan

#2

You did a “sudo scons install” after scons?

#3

“scons install” puts ardour2 in /usr/local/bin by default and related stuff elsewhere in /usr/local. Make sure you look there.

You don’t have to remove the ‘old’ ardour really, but you probably won’t want to use it again once you have tried the new one…

#4

once you have installed with “sudo scons install”, it will most likely live in /usr/local/bin.
Try typing /usr/local/bin/ardour2 from a shell. It could be that you’ll see library dependency problems since the ardour lib that you had just compiled are located in /usr/local/lib but I doubt it since “ardour2” is a truly shell script that should take care of this runtime dep.

#5

OK, I did get it installed to a point where I can try to launch it. However, it won’t launch. It says that it can’t find libjack.so.0; it says it doesn’t exist. It clearly does exist though, in several locations, as I revealed from a search of my filesystem. The locations IIRC included /usr/bin and other logical places. I can list them if needed. Any ideas as to what to do now?

if you have installed ardour in /usr/local, try this command in a shell :

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ardour2:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ldd /usr/local/lib/ardour2/ardour-2.3 | grep “not found”

If you see messages with “not found”, then you have a problem with runtime lib dependencies. If nothing pops out with this shell command, then everything is cool & dandy.

#7

Here is my output from that command (I had to get rid of the | grep “not found” part though):

So, libjack.so.0, libjack.so.2, and liblrdf.so.0 are not found. However I know that at least the libjack files are there, I haven’t checked on liblrdf yet. Any ideas as to what I can do? Also would it help if I could get ardour to install in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin? The old Ardour install is completely gone as far as I know so there’s no reason it can’t go in the /usr/bin directory, or am I wrong?
